Solve the following equation for x.

4x-8=16

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 4x - 8 = 16 \), follow these steps:

  1. Add 8 to both sides to isolate the term with \( x \):

    \[ 4x - 8 + 8 = 16 + 8 \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ 4x = 24 \]

  2. Divide both sides by 4 to solve for \( x \):

    \[ x = \frac{24}{4} \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ x = 6 \]

Thus, the solution is \( x = 6 \).
